Round 7:
Pole Position: Oliver Rowland
Oliver Rowland managed to qualify in the top 3 on both occations last year in Berlin. Can he go one better at the circuit that he claimed his world championship at? I think so!

Podium prediction:

1st Place: Pascal Wehrlein
German driver leading the world championship with a German team entering the German race. Is an extention of this lead likely? Yes. While Wehrlein hasn’t been on the top step of the podium for a bit of time, but I think his home race is the perfect time to return.

2nd Place:Antonio Felix  Da Costa
Da Costa has had a fantastic run of form but all good things must come to an end. I think Berlin will be that time and place. However, a podium is still strong!

3rd Place: Nico Mueller
Mueller has put in very solid performances this year in the factory Porsche team and moving onto the podium to make it a Porsche 1-3 is possible to happen!

Round 8:
Pole: WehrleinAfter Wehrlein ‘s win in round 7, he will be on a momentum high and grab pole position at the second round in his home race!

Podium Predictions:

1st Place: Nico MuellerThis one has been a long time waiting for Mueller who has managed to put in some great performances over his Formula E career so far. A win is a matter of “when” not “if” for the Swiss driver and I think it happens this weekend!

2nd Place: Nick Cassidy
Cassidy has had amazing performances in Berlin, claiming many victories here. While Round 7 may not go in the way he wants, I think a podium is quite possible for him in Citroen !

3rd Place: Mitch Evans
The news of Evans leaving Jaguar TCS Racing at the end of the season was both a surprise and not a surprise to the Formula E community. As rumours emerged that Evans has not tested Jaguar’s Gen4 car as his contract is expired after this season, the likely good of him leaving became more likely. 

Anyway, back to Berlin and with his teammate obtaining a podium the day before, Evans obtaining a podium the day after is possible as the experience and speed is there.
